Online/Offline Marketing: There is still a place in this world for offline marketing. We are not fully connected to our screens yet so it is important to marry the two worlds to assure you are connecting with your target audience at all times.

Micro-influencer Marketing: It’s super expensive to pay that popular Instagrammer to talk about your brand but there are smaller influencers out there with niche audiences that are a better fit, go look for them.

Live Chat and Messaging: Our customers’ attention span is getting shorter so use some form of live communication to connect with them immediately.

Automation: What forms of communication and marketing can you automate to assure your potential customers receive something from you often enough to remember you?

Voice: Take advantage of the voice assisted devices that people are using these days. Make sure your company is represented well when an assistant device is asked for information. Make sure you are keeping the user’s intent in mind at all times.
